If the Poles Of this Globe have not earth at their pgiuts (I), there must be at each an immense whirlpool of water, ocCaSioued by the Diurnal. Revolution of the Globe. This seems reqUisite to counteract the masses of ice found arottod Vortices, and much of this ice be crushed to atoms by the rotary motion of the whirlpools and the reaction of the water in its distaair ascent will produce a (2) current to force the ice (as now happens) in a direction southerly trorn the North Pole, and in a llort belly 'direction from the South Pole, when aided by solar (3) heat in the prevuntion of frost. This may be the case : be_ cause it is apparent every where. that destructi on and reproduction are requisite to constitute the changes on this globe : aml a similar renovatim must take place at the Poles, as iu the other parts Our Globe flies through space in is orbit ; bui this probably dues not counteract the effects of it: diurnal motion at the (4) Poles, nor impede the roglesSion of physical causes (5). . . _ (I) If there was land, the ice could never be detached from them but by a convulsion of Nature, and which dues not appear to he likely to be alternate at each Pole. (2) A current runs front the Polar Basin into the Atlantic Octan, from Norway to America; but there is no proof of any current rufwin4 t o the northward through Beering's Straits, because that great unto, Captain Cook, met with none but a barrier of ice, which ice came from the Polar a nd Wa, jiuuiaed there. Ifa current rtill to the north- ward ruder this - barrier of ice, when the ice was broke up by the viiiient gales of wind in February and March, the force of such a stream would have raised it to the surface and driven the ice to the north, and Captain Cook would have had a clear sea to sail tin (igh : bat the coqtrary happened, and pre vented his success. Neither Captains Cook or King met with any current on the N W. coast of America, nor Monsieur de la Perouse on the coast of Asia, or betiveen Segallel/ Island and the Main, setting to the northward, but a bank of mud across (too shoal for the boats to pass over) to the south of the River Amor; and which bank of mud could not have formed, diad there been a current. As the Polar Basin is not supplied by a current mining through Beering's Strait from the North Pacific Ocean, the current from the Polar Basin in every direction must proceed trim some other cause, mid that cause !oust he the Diurnal Motion of the Globe. Perhaps it will ultimately be discovered that Europe, Asia and America do not extend to the north of 73. of latitude. (3) In the absence of the sun, the severity of the frost may be such as to lessen the power of I tie whirlpool, which will act with its full force when the frost ceases by the return of the sun. (4) The motion at the Poles is slow, arid the velocity great at the Equator; and this is the same in a whirlpool, for the motion is contaurnicated from the circumference to the apex, which has the least motion; as a whirlpool screws downwards. This is the reverse in a whirlwind on land, and a water-spout at sea ; where motion is communicated from the centre to the circumference, and screws upwards. On any other theory, the water could nut descend in a whirlpool, our ascend in a *water spout on laud in a whirlwind. (4) The diurnal ►notion of the globe, from west to east, is the occasion of time trade winds in the Atlantic Ocean, and also of the current of water which runs within the tropics from the coast of Africa to the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico, and thence by the shores of Florida, through that Gulf to the northward, and past the Banks of Newfoundland, until op posed by the Current from the polar basin, when it takes a direction eastward. If the diurnal motion acts on the water at the equator by velocity: it will also act at the poles by a counter effect. * Water-spouts are said to be conical and cylindrical; but though they may at first appear the latter, they soon as sume a conical form, and become the frustrum of a cone ; the smaller part downwards: and this smaller part varies in size from 200 yards or more, to twelve f ee t di ame t er: an d a point only when sometimes forming in fine weather. But in the larger ones, the point (it is to be presumed) is below the surface of the water, and the quantity of water' raised in a given time must be in a ratio to the depth of the apex. The influence ,if water-spouts roust extend much below the sur face, as numbers of fish are taken up by them: and which fall (runs the clouds far inland. ~y , ,'ClA‘ i b e -rival °f l e g e fil ault g I to ,aniil l 'v inciPles' t hese 1°11 ; r ro rn (bell 3 bl r emora' k E ver BANK NOTES. Wk.XFoRD, SEPT. 24.—The Governors and Company of the Bank of Ireland have judiciously dispatched agents through the kingdom, for the purpose of distributing facsimiles of a Bank of Ireland Note, with directions to detect forged notes. One of the Gentlemen who has been through this country called at our Office au Mon- day, and left a _copy of the above. By paying attention to the rules there pointed out no mis take can occur, as the difference between the ge nuine and forged note is very apparent.—No ex pence or exertion on the part of the Bank is wanted to prevent the circulation of fraudulent paper.—A few months ago one of its agents at tended the fairs in this county, and examined the notes fur the country people. The present me thod, we have no doubt, will be equally benefi cial to the community. The following► are the rules to which we have above alluded : The Notes of the Bank of Ireland, of Five Pounds and inkier, may easily be distinguished from the forgeries now in circulation, by observing— 1. 'Die general perfection which prevails in the executiot of every part o► the Note. 2. 'l't►r . extreme regularity and identity of character pre. railing throughout every part of the border; the scrolls ol which it is composed being without the least perceptible ra• riation. 3. The small black worm lines inserted on the white grounds in the scrolls of the border, which are, asto form, absolute fac similes of each other. 4. The edging round the suru, of which the distinguishing characteristics are, extreme preckion, unifoi wily, and perfect execution. 5. In the Vignette—the correct delineation of the crown, rihhon, and female tigule. and the distinct tormation of the words " Bank. of Ireland, " in black, and the Latin motto in %%line letters, which are inserted in the a ibbon.—(Werjord Herald.) ExtixtmoN.—Saturday se'nnight,./ohn Moores, convicted at Chester Assizes of a burglary, under went the dreadful sentence of the law, on the drop in front of the House of Correction in that city. Moores was only in his 22d year. Ott the drop he stood firm and upright ; and, after the rope was adjusted, addressed the spectators to this effect :—" My friends, you are come to see a man die ; I would advise you to take .warning by we. Ihe first beginning of my ruin was Sabbath-breaking—it led me into bad company, and front bad company to robbing gar deus and orchards—and front gardens aad orchards to house-breaking, and that has brought me to this place. 1 ant going to die a sacrifice to Congleton Many of you here are young, and I in an especial Wanner warn you to beware of Sabbath-breaking. It is a very awful thing to die in this public man lier, but 1 am not afraid of death ; 1 believe the Lord will have mercy on my soul. I have broken the laws of God and man, and I deserve to die. I ant guilty of the crime for which I atu going to suffer, but am innocent of being ever connected with any gang. I again warn you to beware of After some further time spent in prayer, itt which he w as joined by Mr. Taylor, one of the Ministers of St. John -street Chapel, he gave the fatal signal.

EXTEMPORE ; fr'rillen On hearing the Nis,ves Asui sing ald perform one li /''l. liow sweet to the minstrel the song's thrihing sound From the fresh lips of innocence fervently 'mitred, While the spirit of music breathes magic around, And the heart drinks each note that is swept from the chord ; And such is the magic, and such the delight That you woke into being, sweet Sisters ! to-night. Oh ! artless and pure, as the warbling first heard In the clear air at day-break, your cadences roll ; And enchanting intl soft as the strains of the bird, In memory their echoes shall long haunt my soul, As they float like the song of the lark to that Heaven, By which all their magic and sweetness were given.

ANNIYERSARY MEETING Or THE AUXILIARY LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY.-The following account of the Meeting was handed to us :—The Meetings held in this city, during the present week, in aid of the " London Missionary So ciety, established in 1795," have proved that the citizens of Bristol, amidst the many calls ou their benevolence of a local nature, are very far from forgetful of the degra dation and misery of Heathen nations. Upwards of 6001. were cheerfully contributed towards the cause of Missions ; and a spirit of union, harmony, and love, pervaded the large assemblies in a degree scarcely ever witnessed, even on similar occasions. ThedetAiled account ot the operationsof theSociery abroad were satisfactory in a high degree; and prove that wherever Bibles awl Missionaries find their way, all the blessings of civilization follow in their train. Special interest was excited by the fact that several dt the Society Islands, in the South Seas, are now professedly Christian. The publ ic idols are burnt ; and l a onrarre, the King of those Islands, has sent his household deities to tine Directors, to spew what " foolish gods" he has I.),:en accustomed to serve. The largest of these was exhibited, it is simply a log of %yowl, about three feet long, covered with a matting rather cu riouslywrought, and decorated with feathers ! To remove such miserable • superstitious, and to teach these and other benighted heathens a " mote excellent way" is the design of Mis sionary Societies ; land the following collections prove the interest of our fellow-citizens in this important cause : RedcliffChurch....‘Bl 0 0 f The Tabernacle ..klB4 9 9 Bridge -street Chapel 40 2 Of Sacramental 'rr- Lady ,Huntingdon's vice at the Ta-37 0 0 ditto Castle-green ditto ..191 15 0 Public Meeting 66 4 8 St. Phi lip's Church.. 19 0 0 Hope Chapel (Bristol Journal, Oct.].)

EDNAM MEETING.—OII Tuesday the 2211 tilt. the Edwin) Club met us usual, to celebrate the birth-day of the great l'oet of the " Seasons," at his native village, Capt. R. IVALKER, R. N. in the chair. Many appropriate toasts were given on the occasion. Mr. Lundie presented to the meet ing a small painting of the poet, in miniature, which had been sent to him for that purpose by the Earl of Buchan, with a letter, in which he requested their acceptance of it. This miniature is . a copy from the original portrait of 'I homson by Slunglier, which is now in his Lordship's col lection, and gives to the physiognomy of the poet a more pleasing and animated expression than what is usually seen. The meeting accepted with much satisfaction this appropriate present, and drank the health of the donor witl► due respect. An open Committee, which "as to meet at Ed nam yesterday, was appointed to inspect the dif ferent proposed sites for the long delayed monu n►ent, to examine the plans which have been made, and to report to a general meeting in Octo ber, by whom it is expected it will be definitively arranged, so that the work may he contracted for, and begun as soon as the season will permit.

CoVF KT- GARDIM-The Comedy of The Wiry to Keep Him was repeated last night, and - Alt.. li'Atinte,N %vas not less successtul in supdotting the character of Sir Bashful Constant. After this amusing Comedy, the Pantomime of Ilarlegnin Gulliver was perfoimed, and a foreign nim bler from the Continent, of whom repots had spoken highly, made his a ppearance, hat hardly Justified what report hail promised.—As there are various tastes among the Public, and a. the Proprietors of Theaties are at a certain great ex pellee, and must gratify the Public in all their re. spective caprices, we are rat her inclined to pity than condemn the Managers, who, to have a chance of success, are obliged to degrade the Temple of the Dramatic Muses with such unsuitable exhibitions. This said tumbler, how ever, ‘iith all his vault ings, does not seem likely to rise lot° plibllC fa vour, judging from his reception last night. ENGLISH (TER k-liousE.—The season, which has been altogether prosperous, concluded last night with the Opera of Artaxerxes, the last tie,v Farce of The Readezrous, a musical Pasticcio, in which the Vocal Performers displayed r heir. powers very successfully, and The Rival Soldiers. These Perlormances took place tier the hem fir tit Miss KUL-Ll', a most dese:.ving favourite of the Public as an Actress, awl an object of universal esteem to all who know her in private limmtnt came forward before the dropping of the curtain, and addressed the audience with great spirit, in the followi n g t e rm s " LADIES AND GENTLENIEN,—As I have frequently the hap piness to wake you laugh, I scarcer• know how to present myself on so milanchuly all occasion as that of bidding you farewell. The Proprietor, however, having deputed we to perform thefitnetu/obsequieB of the sca•on, you will, 1 trust, excuse me if I should not acquit myself on su so.'enut a busi ness with the usual and .becoutimi gravity. " The Proprietor, Ladies and Gentlemen, has redeemed the promise he made at the close of last Season ; be has ex , . erted every effort to merit a continuance of your• favour, and has.been amply repaid by a Season of ouprecedeoted prospe rity, notwithstanding the serious drawback winch the strength of the Company has sustained by the long and severe illness of Miss KELLY, Who is now so happily restored to us.

" Thus encouraged, the Proprietor desires use to assure you of his continued efforts to conciliate your favour; and though the unexpected limitation of his English Opera License to tour months only has shackled his means of providing you amuse ment, he trusts that his Theatre may still be kept in your friendly recollection, and that, without infringing on the sup posed rights of patent monopolies, he may occasionally b• enabled to invite yon here, with such perfor►{lances and exl►i bitions as the law " Proprietor, Ladies and Gentlemen, tenders you, through me, his warmest acktiowledgments ; and hi my own. name, and the names of all the Performers, whom you have so kindly honoured with ' Lots' of applause, I beg to offer you Lots' of titaidzs and ' Lots' of good wislies-, till we inert again !'' MARGATE, OCT. a,—This place, mild) has been attended by one of the most prosperous seasons ever• known, begins now to lessen apace in the number of its visitors. The Tradesmen have re turned to their counters, the Clerks to their desks, and the Dandies to sport their stiff-forms and ex pose their formal fopperies in the Metropolis. The Theatre on Saturday was opened for the be: netit of the widow of the late Mr. WILMOT WELLS. Mr. GARNER, the Librarian, who is •never so happy as when he is doing a kind office. had promised to play Shyluck on the occasion, and though he had been severely indis posed, and was in a state very far from recovery, yet nothi►►g could divert him front his benevolent pur pose, and he had indeed said, that rather than the Widow should be disappointed he would at tempt to perform, even it he should drop on the Stage with the fatigue of the exertion. However the laudable motives which urged hint, seemed to give hint unusual strength. Shylock is his nt voutite part, and he had often supported it with considerable ability. He acquitted hits elf very ably on this occasion, and has, if possible, increased the esteem in which his character has long been held by all the visitors and all the re sidents of this place. There are still some very respectable families here, and if the town is not so full of bustle as it was, there is certainly more agreeable tranquillity and private comfort. MOST DISTRESSING CASE.-In Scotland it Si - l. dom happens that individnal affliction, or distress, are obtruded on the public notice, but her ear is always open to their cry. The sudden and un precedented nature of the devastation which af flicted the Island of Stronsay, in Orkney, last July (an account of which formerly appeared), ren ders it unnecessary to make apology for present ing it to the consideration of our Readers. On Friday, the 24th July, a district sunning across this little Island was visited by a violent thunder storm, accompanied by a fall of hail, or rather solid masses of ice, which utterly destroyed the crops and pastnruge of a whole farm, whereby Mr. Fowlis, the tenant, and thirteen families (sub-tenants and cottars), comprehending eighty seven souls, dependent on him, are reduced to misery tool want. Not only does famine stare the population of this district in the face at the approach of winter, but the tenant is deprived of all means of paying his rent, or procuring seed for another spring.
